{"product_id":"velixir-apollo-sample","title":"Velixir Apollo Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eApollo is a 35 ml Eau de Parfum from Velixir, the FragranceGems house. Its recorded notes are green apple, ginger and bergamot, then clary sage and juniper, resting on amberwood, cedar, tonka bean, olibanum and vetiver. Crisp fruit followed by pine-like herbs and church incense is an unusual line, and a decant is the easy way to hear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Green Apple, Ginger, Bergamot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Clary Sage, Juniper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberwood, Cedar, Tonka Bean, Olibanum, Vetiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGreen apple, ginger and bergamot\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening gathers green apple, ginger and bergamot. The apple is crisp and slightly sour, ginger adds a warm, zesty bite and bergamot brings a clean citrus lift. Spray the decant once and notice how sharp or juicy the apple feels on your skin in the first minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClary sage and juniper\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the heart the record lists clary sage and juniper. Clary sage is herbal and softly sweet, and juniper adds a cool, gin-like, piney freshness. This is the stage where the fruit gives way to something aromatic and outdoorsy, so wait a little before deciding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAmberwood, cedar, tonka, olibanum, vetiver\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base lists amberwood, cedar, tonka bean, olibanum and vetiver. Cedar and vetiver build a dry wooden frame, olibanum adds a smoky, resinous note, amberwood gives a glow and tonka a touch of sweetness. Check your wrist late in the day and see whether the finish feels spiritual and calm to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApollo carries the autumn and winter tags at FragranceGems, with daily, evening and work occasions. Wear one or two sprays on a crisp day and watch the shift from apple to juniper. It is a good perfume to carry through a full ordinary day, and a second day in different weather adds information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who like fresh, woody and aromatic perfumes with a slightly smoky base, and want one for cooler months that is not too sweet. Its FragranceGems listing reads unisex with moderate intensity. If you find juniper or incense hard to wear, the decant shows quickly whether they stay in the background here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Velixir Apollo as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen apple, juniper and olibanum are not an everyday combination, and a note list cannot tell you how well they sit together. With a decant of Apollo, which FragranceGems fills from the original bottle and we label, you can put the mix to a proper test. FragranceGems also sells the 35 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is inside the Apollo vial?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfume from a Velixir bottle in our own range, filled by FragranceGems into a 10 ml glass spray vial with our label.
